See, the Aussies have guts... Where are ours?
MUSLIMS IN AUSTRALIA
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday
to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head
off potential terror attacks. A day after a group of mainstream Muslim
leaders pledged loyalty to Australia at a special meeting with Prime
Minister John Howard, he and his ministers made it clear that extremists
would face a crackdown.
Treasurer Peter Costello hinted that some radical clerics could be asked
to leave the country if they did not accept that Australia was a secular
state and its laws were made by parliament. "If those are not your values, if
you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia
is not for you," he said on national television. "I'd be saying to clerics
who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia, one
the Australian law and another, the Islamic law, that this is false. If you
can't agree with parliamentary law, independent courts, democracy, and
would prefer Sharia law, and have the opportunity to go to another country which
practices it, perhaps, then, that's a better option," Costello said.
Asked whether he meant radical clerics would be forced to leave, he said
those with dual citizenship could possibly be asked move to the other
country. Education Minister Brendan Nelson later told reporters that
Muslims who did not want to accept local values should "clear off". "Basically,
people who don't want to be Australians, and they don't want to live by
Australian values and understand them, well then they can basically clear
off," he said. Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on
Wednesday by saying he supported spies monitoring the nation's mosques.
BRITS, AMERICANS and CANADIANS.....ARE YOU LISTENING?
This is Leadership with guts! The way it is. The way it should be. Our
men and women died in two world wars to get us this country and we are
giving it away."
